Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Old Mortality, Volume 1." by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in 1816. Set in southwest Scotland during the turbulent 1679 Covenanter uprisings, it follows Henry Morton, a young man caught between love and loyalty when he becomes entangled in religious rebellion. After defending a fugitive assassin, Morton joins the Presbyterian Covenanters in their battles against Royalist forces, though his moderate beliefs clash with extremists on both sides. His involvement threatens his romance with Edith Bellenden, whose family supports the Crown.
